Pope's prayer intention for January 2010

Pope Benedict offers two intentions every month, one general, and one for a particular Catholic missionary activity.

Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for January 2010 is:

“We pray for all young people throughout the world, especially in the ways that social communications media affect them. Lord, may your beloved young people learn to use modern means of communication for their personal growth in holiness. Let them use media to better prepare themselves to serve society.”
